Pleng (เพลิง) and Kam have arguments. Kam complains Pleng is not sincere. Pleng has
to choose between being a ruffian (นักเลง, การพนัน) versus being an honest military officer
(ยุติธรรม). They break up. The military head, Prachom, promises to help Pleng but this
latter refuses due to his strong character (กระดูกแข็ง). Pleng has arguments with a debtor,
who insults his mother. He stabs him, flees and quits army. Finally Pleng becomes a
ruffian (เสียคน). Pleng is accepted in ruffian team by leader Prayak. Prayak and Chinta
(จินดา) have a child called Bayan. Bayan is in fact a child being kidnapped. Prayak and
Chinta need to flee the police and go overseas. Pleng promises to take care of Bayan.
Many years have passed. Bayan has now grown up and is renamed Prao (พราว). She
has learnt fighting skills (การต่อสู้). While doing shopping, a young policeman called Wut
(วุฒิ) contacts Prao as Prissana but it is a mistake. But in fact Prao and Prissana are
twins (ลูกแฝด)! They were separated 15 years ago following a robbery by Prayak in
Prachom’s home. Hao Dong is a mysterious judiciary punishing ruffians and warning
police in advance (ผู้หวังดี). Behind it is Pleng, who always felt guilty to have quit the army.
During last affair, Pleng gets shot and killed while helping Wut. Prao replaces Pleng as
judiciary. She revenges Pleng by putting a bomb in ruffian leader's car. Wut pretends to
be Niwat, insurance representative, in order to investigate close to the daughter,
Saisree (ไซซี), regarding her father death. Wut suspects Prao to be Hao Dong but proofs
are not enough (ตำรวจมีหัวใจเหมือนกัน!). Chita and Phayak come back from overseas to
support Prao. Prao still wants to catch the real leader of the mysterious society (วงการ).
Saisree is now the head of Chinese style secret society. Saisree asks Wut to lie to Prao
and makes her come thanks to a trick. He refuses. Due to Saisree's love towards Wut,
the ruffians shot each other. Wut succeeds to escape but Prissana is kidnapped and
shall be exchanged with Prao. Wut, the police and Prao storm the ruffians
headquarters. Prao is reunited with her parents. A double wedding Prissana / Chao and
Prao / Wut can happen. As usual on Thai television programs, bad things are blurred
such as smoking a cigarette, alcohol bottle or putting a gun on temple. A first version of
movie “เห่าดง” was released in 1958 with leading actress Amara Asavananda. The 1983

"♪จะไปดูหนังไทย บ๊ะ ต้องเห่าดง ดาวดัง สรพงษ์ ผิวคล้ำ นำแสดง สุรีย์วัล สุริยง มาประชันขันแข่ง อรัญญา ก็มา ร่วมกันในเห่าดง♪".
